Default need a good detail!
Hey guys I just purchased a black WS6! the last owner had some ugly stickers on it (like the big bird on a WS6 hood!?! ahhh hate that!) took them all off but now the glue residue is still on there and the paint is real good but the clear has a little bit of swirls in it. Long story short I want the car detailed! Inside and out but I need someone who's VERY GOOD! This has been my dream car for 6 years and I want it done right and by a professional not just a kid off the street. Please PM me if you can help me out. Thanks in advance!!!! Man I love this forum compared to Mustang forums because everyone is helpful and not an *** thinking they know everything! Lol

I would jump on it but, fyi to get the residue off: Goo Gone, about 5$ at auto stores, it works real well.

talk to Steve@tropi-care, set up an appointment, and watch him work his magic. I am amazed every time at his work, and I believe they are in Allen, TX..
